Gaming mouse pads

[BeAt]

so the ratpadz GS ive had for 6 years is pretty much worn to shit but its served its purpose well, any recommendations for something nicer than the ratpadz? willing to spend up to $60

Huh.. I never put much money into a mouse pad.. I would imagine that with a good optical/laser mouse that the impact of the pad isn't enough to warrant $60 on a pad.

I have great tracking on a non patterned cloth pad...?

A good gaming mousepad will have a slightly-rough surface so there's less friction between the feet and the mousepad. Whatever floats your boat, but after going to a gaming pad I never wanted to go back to cloth.

As for the op, I'm surprised you got that much out of a Ratpadz GS. I didn't even get 6 months from mine :\

Either find the discontinued Icemat for cheap (large glass surface, so it should take more punishment than a Ratpadz, as long as you don't throw it at a wall), or do what the cool people do and get a fUnc Surface

I have a special edition alienware func 1030 archetype mousepad that I never used I would sell you for $30 shipped if your interested in that.

I've got an Icemat and love it. My only minor gripe is that it can be cold when you touch it since it's mad of glass.
